A think we agree that a race car qualifies as a frivolous purchase?

Erm... might have bought another!

One of these... Well 50% of one

Fantastic.

Nice, more details

Standard Fiesta ST 180bhp engine but with no restrictions which can be unlocked to 220bhp for free. Weighs 465kg I think so that's about 470bhp per tonne.
I'm getting a little ahead of myself though because at this moment it's not ours but we're planning on buying it

Low stock so you will have to check in store. The online checker is crap. Singles also reduced to a few pound but all gone when I went.

Late night on Amazon ahd me spending £160+ in the name of losing weight:

My Fire TV Stick arrived today. I literally do not know what to do with it as I already own a Fire TV Box. The only reason I bought it was because of the pre-order special price of £19 for existing Amazon Prime members compared to the £35 it now is.

I bought something called an "Apple TV" about 3 years ago. It is neither an Apple nor a TV and it has sat in its little space under my real TV gathering dust having never been used. WTF is it for?

I use mine frequently. Instead of watching PHTV on my phone, I stream to the TV screen using the Apple TV. Yesterday I was watching Netflix on it. Nothing frivolous about it.

Ditto. Mine is used daily and is an absolute essential purchase.

If yours happens to be the v2 model then they sell for more than you paid for it due it being possible to jailbreak it. If you don't use it then get it on eBay

I have two v2's, neither have been switched on for years. I might have to get them sold. Thanks for the heads up!

Wow, something that plays phtv videos. Across 3 pcs, all up to date etc, it just won't work!

Why they can't just use YouTube I don't know...

I don't know if the price is still accurate but they're certainly in demand.

That is indeed frivolous because the scales where 25 quid and the flex twenty in boots clearance last week.

I'm not sure. I picked one up in the US as it was cheaper and I used it a couple of times for Netflix as it also lets me stream the audio to my Zepplin. Now I have a Sony 4K smart TV it's pretty redundant. Much easier to use the "Netflix" button on the TV remote.

As much as I don't like Android, at least with their TV boxes you can stream sports and get new movies.

Thats not the Flex though thats the Charge. I think the current cheapest is from Currys at £69. I hope it is anyway as I got one today!

It feels like Amazon haven't had anything decent (or, rather, anything that I want to buy) in a Lightning Deal for *ages*.

Really don't need it as I like walking and already have bicyles, but it is great fun

This was after just 15mins practice, I have now dispensed with the orange strap which is just a trainng aid. I recommend the single wheel versions as the double wheelers are easier to learn but harder to turn with.

Been after one for a while, been looking at a Solowheel (they started it all) still can't decide if the price difference is justifiable, (Solowheel is 1500)
